Old Man

An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work.

His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:

Dear Son,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to

miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to be

digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot

for me, if you weren't in prison.

With Love,

Dad

Shortly, the old man received this telegram:

"For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden!! That's where I buried the **** !!!!!!!!!!!"

At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire

garden without finding any ****.

Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do

next.

His son's reply was: "Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad... It's the best I could do for you from here."

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART YOU CAN DO IT FOR YOUR LOVED ONES. IT IS THE THOUGHT!!
